Posted: April 13th, 2018

Choosing the right foundation color is extremely important. Your foundation can make or break your makeup look. There are several things that you need to take into consideration when you are choosing a foundation color.

 

 

Your Skin Type

There are three main skin types oily, normal and dry. You may also have combination skin. Your esthetician, who is a skincare specialist, can help you find the right foundation for your skin type. A medium-to-full coverage foundation is ideal for people who have oily skin. You can use light coverage if you have dry skin. You can use any type of coverage that you want if you have normal skin. Your current skincare regimen can also affect your skin type.

Are You Warm or Cool?

Are you warm or cool? That is a question that will help you when you are choosing the right shade. You can tell whether you are warm or cool by looking at your veins. If you have blue veins, then you are cool. You are warm if you have green veins. An esthetician can also help you decide whether you are a warm or cool. Using the jewelry trick is another way that you can decide whether you are warm or cool. If you look better with silver jewelry, then you have cool skin. Warm-toned people look better with gold jewelry.

Choosing the Right Shade

You need to find a foundation that matches the color of your chest. You can test the foundation by putting a small amount of it on your hand and walking outside. Wait a few minutes to see if it is absorbed into your skin. You can also mix and match foundations.
